Nice to have a wardrobe refresh in new colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346887 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 02:20:19 +0000 Jaime 2346887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blazer outfit, regardless of stain.

As it turns out, I like me in brown with my hair! For a while it was hard to find much in brown tones, now I'm taking advantage.<br /><b><br /></b>Same with red--I always looked for true red, which was hard to find. Now I see that the darker red tone is more flattering for me.&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>Suz and Angie: I don't think anyone else noticed, it was subtle and most of the time we were sitting around a table. Last time I wore this jacket was at my birthday dinner. Must have been a little of that birthday cake.</p> <p>While constantly changing fashion can be annoying, it can also be fun to make discoveries. And of course, we are always changing. &nbsp;<b><br /><i></i></b><b><i></i><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346867 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 22:57:51 +0000 Olive Green 2346867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The brown colour combo in 6 is quite perfect on you. Soft and flattering, but not saccharine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346813 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 12:28:30 +0000 Dee 2346813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fab new jeans, perfect fit, you just never know with retailer sizing do you,<br />Red and brown are such a nice colour combo and you wear it well. <br />I do like the proportions of your cable sweater and jeans in photo 1, looks casually comfy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346784 Sat, 09 Dec 2023 23:51:24 +0000 avicennia 2346784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz, rich and warm are the words to describe how browns look on you. The burgundy looks lovely as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346783 Sat, 09 Dec 2023 23:39:10 +0000 Suz 2346783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MsMaven, your hair is looking killer great!&nbsp;</p> <p>Red and brown are a gorgeous and rich combination and you wear them well!

I usually pair red with black or navy for a dark neutral but like brown . I have been putting away brown as an earth tone but will need to bring it back out. I understand the getting shorter with age I can no longer reach some shelves . So far I have lost an inch or maybe more. As time goes by the height goes faster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346743 Sat, 09 Dec 2023 11:48:04 +0000 merwoman 2346743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your colour scheme and the way you’ve put everything together! That lovely llbean cable sweater looks so good on you. And gorgeous styling for your business lunch. Those dang spots! So many times I’ve ‘spotted’ them on myself!<br />Jeans fit to perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346728 Fri, 08 Dec 2023 23:57:49 +0000 Anonymous 2346728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new jeans on you! And big yay for reds plus browns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-week-in-browns-plus#post-2346726 Fri, 08 Dec 2023 23:53:46 +0000 MsMaven 2346726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few photos, all trying out some new items.</p> <p>#1 is the brown corduroy jeans from BR. Thanks <b>Angie</b>! A little wider through hips and thighs than I like for straight leg jeans. Ended up wearing with an LLBean cotton cable sweater. Not great proportion but cozy.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 we had a business lunch--wanted to wear my new Vince cashmere but when I put it on I changed my mind. Wore new Boden dark red cashmere sweater with a scarf and J Crew blazer, and brown pull on Paige Masai ponte knit pants. Looked down during lunch and noticed a smudge on the blazer lapel. Old Ecco Soft 7 shoes and so-far unused Sakroots bag.</p> <p><b>Lesson</b>: check out those items for spots and spills that you haven't worn lately before you put them on and leave. (Spots sponged off later.)</p> <p>Note: I tried on 2 to 3 items for each final piece. And I was the most dressed up person in the group.</p> <p>Reminded how much I liked the off red and brown combinations--when? 70's or 80's.</p> <p>#3 came home and changed into cashmere cardigan. Comfy. Macy's sale from a couple of years ago.</p> <p>#4 &amp; 5 Came home today and found new pair of Joe's Jeans from The Rack had arrived. Oops--I accidentally ordered a petite. Guess what? They fit great and won't have to be hemmed. Interesting. I was tall (5' 8 1/2") before aging and always had trouble finding pants long enough. (We are going back to my teenage years here.) Until I found Paige and Joe's and NYDJ, which are too long in flares and bells. And the body of these jeans fits better as well--a little stretchy in the waist. We'll see how these work out.</p> <p>#6 Thanksgiving Eve at restaurant dinner. (Only showing one side of the table.) That same cardi and a J Crew cashmere brown pullover from a couple of years ago. Wearing new T Tahari pull on pants in cashew that go with my new cashew and brown sweaters etc. I wore the new Uniqlo ultra warm tights under the pants, cozy as can be and comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p>Change of plans for Thanksgiving: two people tested positive for Covid the next morning so that family stayed home and we changed the dinner place and took the leftovers to the isolated family members. The rest of us dined together and got home in good shape. Nobody else caught the fun-wrecking Covid.</p> <p>For Thanksgiving wore my Boden striped sweater with the cashew cardi and pants. The color shown here is more of an olive. Sorry I'm behind on collecting finds. No fun annual T-day photos this year.&nbsp;</p>
